Thank you both for the answers. We are trying to find out if Hive can be used as a replacement of Netezza, but if there are no indexes then I don't see how it will beat Netezza in terms of performance. Sounds like it certainly can't be used to do a quick lookup from a webapp - like Netezza can.

Regarding usage of APIs to work on HIVE, here is a tip: Try using a JDBC connector (like 'hive-jdbc-0.7.1-cdh3u1.jar') as a plugin in any querying tool such as DbVisualizer. I am connecting to hive using the above setup as well as using SQL Explorer plugin in Eclipse. Regards Anand B Fro

Re: How to overwrite a file inside hive table folder
